Last week I flew from Sydney to Narrabri, a town of about 7, 500 people about 600 kms northwest of Sydney. The plane was a Dash-8. Today all Dash-8 Series 400s were grounded for mechanical checks after one had an emergency landing in Lithuania due to a faulty landing gear, and one crashed in Denmark a few days ago.
In the next couple of days I'll show you some of the Northwest plains from the air. This shot is amazingly green - crops planted after some great winter rains. Unfortunatley, 71% of NSW is drought-declared, and there hasn't been anything by way of follow-up rain, so many crops are threatened.
Yes, in France we've heard about bad crops and lack of rain in Australia. I hope your summer won't be too dry...
ReplyDeleteNow this is a different perspective! It is nice to see the green. When I take a plane I'm always amazed at the amount of farmlands in California.
ReplyDeleteI am afraid that we have had droughts too and like you, will have to pay a lot more for food including meat and cereal as those grain prices are going even higher. I do like your airplane shot.
ReplyDeleteNow that is what I call bravery! Lovely shot.
ReplyDeleteOh Sally, you like Dash 8s, don't you? Not good news about their grounding.
ReplyDeleteVery cool photo, Sally. Love the props plus the patchwork terrain.
ReplyDeleteLook rather like the English countryside...!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Such a great shot. How did you take it so clear?
